critical bug in environment variables
0
hello,
i was installing the gitstack on windows 7, and i found out
that in the environment variables \ System variables you overridden the PATH variable to
W:\GitStack\python;W:\GitStack\python\Scripts;W:\GitStack\git\cmd;W:\GitStack\git\bin
all my previous Path value was deleted and i was have deer except from the default system paths a lot custom defined paths and a lot of others applications paths.
is there a way to get my path value back?
and you have to warn about this!!!

I had a similar problem with GitStack 1.3, see https://gitstack.com/questions/gitstack-1-3-overwrites-system-path/
You can get your path back by using System Restore to undo the GitStack installation.
I work around this problem by making a copy of my path before installing GitStack.
Do you perchance have a very long path ? Mine is over 1300 characters, and I think that there may be a limit to the length of environment variables under Windows.
